DPS Koala 103 Skis

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

When it comes to the Koala 103, DPS had one goal: Create a playful, athlete-driven ski for the modern freeskier that shreds the whole mountain and makes no compromises. A bamboo/poplar bi-phase wood core, wrapped in Triaxial fiberglass makes this ski supremely poppy. It does well in soft snow, open bowls, trees, and even the terrain park if that’s your thing. On top of that the unidirectional carbon stringers make it stiffer, more stable, and better on edge than most twin-tips I’ve skied. What makes the Koala really special though, is the super nice race-quality base that, especially when combined with a Phantom treatment, allows this ski to reach speeds that would make most twins feel chattery and unpredictable.

Our Take On The 2025 DPS Koala 103:

Our design intent for the new Koala 103 was to make a ski that’s perfect for the playful style of skiing. The energy of the ski allows it to bend, pop, and rebound in a way that is smooth yet exciting. It promotes confident skiing, as it’s comfortable in all turn shapes and at a range of speeds, allowing you to approach the whole mountain with a creative eye. In terms of core skiing characteristics, the Koala 103 is even exceptional at carving a great turn. It was developed by freeride and freestyle professionals on the world class natural playground at Alta Ski Area, and the terrain parks of Argentina and Park City. This is the first truly playful and freestyle comfortable ski DPS has ever built.
